I was in the room the day 18 years ago when Reid was born. I cried - at that point in my life we were signed up for adoption - I cried - not because I was jealous - I cried because I was so overwhelmed at this little baby (well in Reid's case...not so little) - he was just the cutest, sweetest little boy I had ever seen. I was overwhelmed at God's goodness to them in this pudgy, big blue eyed precious gift. I remember his parents feeling so bad that I was crying - but it was tears of joy not sorry, tears over God's goodness, tears over God's creation - Babies are so amazing - such miracles. I remember trying to reassure them that I was fine - I wasn't crying about myself! I will never forget that day holding him in my arms and thanking the Lord for Reid. Was that really 18 years ago this month?
Reid was born at the end of May - I got a call one month later that we had been chosen to adopt a little girl. God gave Beth and I kids that would become solid friends the past 17 1/2 years....I love their cousin type Friendship...it's so sweet.

Reid is a stud - easy to photograph - made me laugh the whole time - except he was afraid of spiders complained more than most girls I shoot....
and yes...I know - go ahead and say it - is it really fair to shoot someone this handsome??? It's really jut me and the camera that makes him look this good ....:)

Love you Reid - can't wait to see you live out the rest of your life all grown up.
